Our Learning Culture
OUR LEARNING VISION
VISION FOR LEARNING
At KB School, we approach learning as a personal and lifelong pursuit of social, emotional, and intellectual development. We believe that every learner is gifted with boundless potential and that our role as educators must be to awaken the various forms of intelligence and spark curiosity about everything in the real and abstract world. Rich and authentic learning experiences are used to cultivate innate talents, provide opportunities to pursue interests and passions, both inside and outside of the classroom, and strive for excellence; all in the spirit of respect, integrity, and well-being.
LEARNING AT KB
DRIVERS OF LEARNING
We are dedicated to the holistic development of our learners. This is captured through four distinct drivers of learning that permeate all aspects of learning at KB.
Personalised Learning
Learners learn in different ways and at different paces. Personalized learning is a teaching model based on that premise. Each student gets a “learning plan” based on how they learn, what they know, and what their skills and interests are. It’s the opposite of the “one size fits all” approach used in most schools.
Social Emotional Learning
We encourage our learners to establish positive identities, feel a sense of belonging and develop agency. Our learners acquire and apply knowledge, attitudes and skills to understand and navigate their own emotions, set and achieve positive personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy and respect for others, maintain supportive relationships and make responsible decisions.
Intercultural learning
We recognise that culture sets the social norms and accepted values of a given society, which in turn is what sustains a cohesive society. Intercultural learning is the process of becoming more aware of and a better understanding of one's own culture, identity and history, and that of other peoples around the world, with the aim of fostering dialogue, interaction, tolerance and understanding across our global and local communities.
Wider Learning
We offer a holistic approach to education, by providing rich learning opportunities beyond the classroom that allows for physical, social and cognitive stimuli that nurture brave, brilliant and inquisitive young people who are committed to the positive growth of themselves and others.
